Whenever a new iPhone is released, it means that the next launch event for a year has begun again. It's just that news about next year's new iPhones is coming earlier than usual, and has already spread online before the iPhone 15 series is released. But today’s protagonist is not the iPhone 16, but the iPhone SE 4 that small-screen users have been waiting for. Recently, foreign technology media MacRumors shared a series of details about iPhone SE 4, saying that its appearance and configuration will undergo major upgrades, and it will still be positioned in the mid-range market. Next, let me give you a brief summary.
First of all, in terms of appearance, iPhone SE 4 still pays tribute to the classics this time, but the object of tribute is changed to iPhone 14, which means that it has finally kept up with the times and has a full-screen blessing. The phone will have a 6.1-inch notch screen on the front and a right-angled middle frame on the sides. The back is slightly different from the 14 because it has only one rear lens. The overall look is like a replica of the iPhone 14, but apart from the lens module, there are two detailed differences. The mute switch has been changed to the Action button, and the Lightning charging interface has been changed to a USB-C interface.
Secondly, in terms of configuration, iPhone SE 4 is on par with iPhone 15. It cancels the 12-megapixel lens passed down from generation to generation and uses the same 48-megapixel main camera as iPhone 15 in one step, supporting 2x lossless zoom. As for the processor, based on the experience of the first three generations, it is most likely the same A16 processor as the iPhone 15. In terms of battery life, the battery model of the currently exposed prototype is A2863, which is the same as the battery model of the iPhone 14, with a capacity of 3279mAh. Compared with the SE 3, the capacity of the A2863 battery has increased by 1250mAh, and the battery life improvement should be considerable.
In addition, after the iPhone SE 4 switches to a full-screen design, the biometric identification solution will also be changed from the original Touch ID fingerprint recognition to Face ID facial recognition. At the same time, the screen will also be upgraded from LCD to OLED display. Of course, this should not be considered a positive upgrade for LCD fans! Overall, the iPhone SE 4 is quite interesting this time, with improvements in appearance, imaging, performance, battery life, etc. It’s a bit like a low-end version of the iPhone 15 with an iPhone 14 case. If it comes on the market at the original price of 3,499 yuan, it still feels pretty good.
But we can’t be too optimistic. After all, after the iPad next door was replaced with a full-screen display, the price went up. Therefore, the price of iPhone SE 4 may also increase, depending on the sincerity of the chef. As for the release time, early reports said that the machine will be unveiled next year and will debut Apple’s self-developed 5G chip. But the latest news is that Apple’s 5G chip research and development has encountered problems again, and it is still far away from launch. It is currently uncertain whether the iPhone SE 4 will be delayed due to this, but it is basically certain that it will continue to be equipped with a Qualcomm modem. What price do you think the iPhone SE 4 should be at?
